Election Again

The Legco is going to have an election soon. I am a voter and I definitely will vote. Although I do not have any hope on whoever I am going to vote, I still want to participate in this game.

As you know more, you realize that most of the candidates give empty promises before the election. Once they are elected, they will disappear for years and you only see them a couple of months before the next election. You have no idea what they have done in the past few years. All they want is to beg you to vote them again so that they can enjoy to be a well-paid Legco member for another 4 years.

Who wants to be a direct elected Legco member? Not the best and brightest as they would rather make more money. Not the second best as they are too busy to climb up their career ladder. Some of those rich and famous may want to be a Legco member as a compliment but must be appointed. And most People in HK prefer not to get involved as there is no career prospect to be a Legco member. So only some people who are thirsty for a little bit of power go for election, but I doubt very much they can have what they want.
